Default Anyone seen this happen to a Hoosier DR?

This was 2 times at the track and 10-20 runs on my 275/50/15's..

I contacted Hoosier to see what they say, trying to see what others have experienced.
I have 315's on my car, and a buddie has a pair of bald 255's, that are worn more then these with nothing like the pics.

Anyone know?

Here is one tire, see the big *** line/cut in it?



You can see that on this tire too, its on the verge of looking like the one above, Im pointing the scissors at where it starting.

these were track only tires.. nothing under the wheel wale that would cause it. I think they are screw ups from Hoosier.

Hoosier is sending me a new set and want these back to disect the problem. Im glad I saved them, I know I did nothing wrong with these tires and my others show no signs of this either..

Maybe you should contact MT.
